Your dog is so cute. I loved it when you turned on the light before getting out of bed,and she was snuggled up next to you. She's so happy. Coffee, a good book, and snuggling with your dog. That is a perfect day.

My parents immigrated to the states when I was 3, in 1960. Back then you couldn't get SaltnVinegar in the USA. Old Dutch in Canada made them. My Nana would send us SaltnVinegar chips, Caramilk chocolate bars and meat pies 😂 Oh how excited we would get.

My little dog Cisco loves when i can pick up from the grocery store a small piece of bone marrow, usually the butcher will give you free, i fill the centre withorganic peanut butter, just get at health food store, cheap, and freeze it. Good for his teeth, cools him down in summer, loves gnawing on it in general and really healthy, something different ❤❤

Those black flies are nasty bast*rds! They like humid days with no breeze. I used to get swarmed just terrible. They loved me for some reason. One day I went running screaming waving my arms into a little convenience store along the highway to get away from them and a huge swarm of flies followed me in the door. The person working there passed out fly swatters to all the customers …LOL TRUE STORY. All you can hope for is the big lake has a nice breeze coming off of it and hang there. Otherwise, we saved bad flies days for napping inside or going for a drive.

Sweet onion chips are amazing. Dogs can't have onion or garlic, it's toxic to their respiratory system. Also for her teething, you could get her a Kong ball or bone. If you can't afford that, you could let her chomp a piece of tree branch lol my dog loves them. Maybe you could get her a big bone from the butcher, it should be labeled soup bone. Sweet onion kettle chips are my favorite 😋 may want to get her a hartz flea and tick collar, they're good for a year and work great. I get mine at Walmart and the Hartz collar for fleas, ticks and the eggs. Never had any issues. I don't give my dogs any oral medicine for flea and tick, because I don't trust that. My family has always trusted Hartz collar since I was a child. Also if you get her shots, make sure to get the Bordatello shot so she's protected against anything an animal may have left disease wise ❤️ sorry for so much advice, but we love and care for you two and want the best for you. We enjoy our journey with you. Be safe ❤

The adventures of Rowan & Ruby! You two are meant to be together. If you give her human food, she will turn her nose up at her own food. I am experiencing that, right now with my dog! She loves her freedom to run. She is so young she wants to have fun. Cindy Lauper's song, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, came to mind. When you were gathering wood for your fire, watching here run back and forth was priceless. The Van is looking so nice, inside. I think you are happy. Thanks for sharing. See you on your next video. Stay safe, the two of you and continue to have fun. Heather Ontario, 🇨🇦
